Rep. Devin Nunes isn't celebrating special counsel Robert Mueller's submission of his final report to the Justice Department. Calling for full transparency, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee amplified his demand to see the scope memo for the years-long investigation, going further than Democrats calling for the release of the full Mueller report for the public to see. "I don't think Republicans or any American should be celebrating anything to do with Mueller. Okay? It's fine. He's not going to indict anymore people. There are a whole bunch of indictments that are awful. What happened to these people...

As Robert Mueller exits stage left, the Justice Department will continue to pursue a handful of investigations—and potentially more prosecutions -- that began with or were bolstered by the special counsel's work. And a significant group of them still focus around President Donald Trump. The still-live investigations range from an expansive probe into the Trump inaugural committee, to various investigations relating to former top Trump campaign officials Paul Manafort and Rick Gates, to tips that stemmed from Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen's experience with Trump and his family's company. It's possible other investigations are being conducted quietly, as well.

Turning the California Presidio over to Mikhail Gorbachev, who would use being on American soil to convert American military bases to "global centers for sustainability," Is Russian Collusion 101. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer will continue to harass President Donald Trump as a Russian Agent—even after the release of the Mueller Report is calling for no more indictments. By urging a full release of the report with their demand that Attorney General William Barr not give President Trump or his lawyers a ‘Sneak Preview’, Pelosi and Schumer want the public to believe that...

Now that special counsel Robert Mueller has completed his investigation, it is tempting to breathe a sigh of relief and assume that our long national nightmare is over. Resist the temptation, the assumption is false. We are not close to the end. Not by a long shot. In fact, I believe the last two years, as traumatic as they were, will prove to be the easier part of the nightmare, because Mueller dealt only with whether Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign conspired with Russia to swing the election. Based on what we know so far, especially that no more indictments are...

Neal Katyal, who helped draft the special counsel rules as a Justice Department lawyer in the late 1990s, said Friday that Attorney General William Barr can and should release special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report. Katyal, in an op-ed in The Washington Post, wrote that there are no regulations preventing Barr from publicizing Mueller’s findings, which were delivered to Barr late Friday afternoon. “The public has every right to see Robert S. Mueller III’s conclusions. Absolutely nothing in the law or the regulations prevents the report from becoming public. Indeed, the relevant sources of law give Attorney General P. William...

Rep. Jerry Nadler, the head of the House Judiciary Committee, said it would amount to a “cover-up” if Attorney General William Barr fails to release the entire special counsel’s report along with the underlying evidence that led Robert Mueller to his conclusions. Because the Justice Department believes by law that a sitting president cannot be indicted, Congress needs to be able to see the Mueller report to fulfill its constitutional oversight duty, the New York Democrat said on Sunday. “If that is the case, and they can’t hold him accountable, the only institution that can hold a president accountable is...

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the fourth-highest ranking Democrat in the House, said special counsel Robert Mueller's report should be made public so Americans can find out whether President Trump is a legitimate leader, an asset of the Russian government, a kingpin or a "useful idiot." "Let's take the first step in terms of the full disclosure of the report and the underlying documentation," Jeffries said on "Face the Nation" Sunday. "The American people deserve to know whether Donald Trump is either: A, a legitimate president; B, a Russian asset; C, the functional equivalent of an organized crime boss or; D, just...

At long last, Special Counsel Robert Mueller has submitted his report to the attorney general. What does that mean for Congress — and the question of impeachment? For 21 months, leaders of both parties have found one consistent area of agreement: the ongoing Mueller investigation provided a convenient excuse to duck, deflect, and delay discussion of impeachment. With each new revelation of impeachable conduct, the bipartisan response from Congress has been that impeachment talk was “premature” until the Mueller report was complete. That excuse is now gone. The question is whether the House of Representatives will begin an impeachment investigation,...

FULL TITLE: ‘He LIED!’ Rep. Dan Crenshaw just DROPPED all sorts of mics on Adam Schiff’s latest ridiculous claims about the #MuellerReport Rep. Adam Schiff, Rep. Eric Swalwell and a plethora of other Democrats are spinning Mueller finishing his report (which looks to be a total dud) into some grand conspiracy by the GOP to silence the report so the American people can’t see it. We suppose they think this makes Americans question whether or not Mueller is somehow covering for Trump or that the president himself wants to edit the report to cover his tracks but c’mon already. Why...

Mark Levin weighed in on Mueller and FBI and the constand leaks to the liberal media over the past two years.Levin then goes off on “Mediagate” the constant drumbeat of lies and propaganda pushed by the liberal media on the American people for the past two years on Russia and the Trump-collusion nonsense.  Mark Levin: We have an iron triangle here. The Hillary Campaign that funded the dossier, the Obama administration, the Department of Justice that other intelligence agencies, and the media. The media that is supposed to watch the powerful. The media that is supposed to watch the government,...

Appearing on "Fox & Friends," Bongino said the investigation that cost taxpayers at least $30 million knew early on that there was no collusion. "Here’s what everybody's missing on this thing," he told the Fox News early morning crew. "Yes, there’s no collusion. We've known — that's not the story okay? Everybody who's followed this case has known this for two years, that there's no collusion." "The real problem here is Bob Muller did a thorough investigation, tens of millions of dollars, and stacked his team with Democrats, had people viciously trying to go after Donald Trump, and they could...

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler confirmed Sunday that Congress will continue to investigate President Donald Trump regardless of the conclusions reached by special counsel Robert Mueller. “We know there was collusion,” Nadler insisted several times during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” with guest host Dana Bash. “Why there’s been no indictments, we don’t know.”

VIDEO Last year MSNBC host Chris Matthews confidently stated that the "HMS Trump" had hit the Robert Mueller iceberg and would probably sink. That attitude contrasted sharply with the meltdown that Matthews suffered on Friday when the Mueller report was finally released with no new indictments.

ItÂ’s not often I, like most of America, make a point to watch MSNBC or CNN. If I want to know what leftists are thinking I just imagine something so incredibly insane that thereÂ’s no way an educated adult would actually believe it, then double it and IÂ’m there. But Friday night was an exception, I had to see how they responded to the news of the Mueller ReportÂ’s submission to the Attorney General and no further indictments coming. It was glorious. You rarely get the chance to watch someone have to choke down a crap sandwich of their own...

President Donald Trump is intensifying his efforts to discredit a highly anticipated report on the special counsel's Russia investigation. In an interview with Fox Business Network to be aired Friday, Mr Trump said: "I have a deputy, appoints a man to write a report on me, to make a determination on my presidency. People will not stand for it." Mr Trump's comments came as special counsel Robert Mueller is expected to soon deliver a report to the Justice Department on his investigation into Russian election meddling.

Now that special counsel Robert Mueller has completed his investigation, it is tempting to breathe a sigh of relief and assume that our long national nightmare is over. Resist the temptation, the assumption is false. We are not close to the end. Not by a long shot. **SNIP** Getting to the bottom of it would mean a criminal probe of Comey and his former deputy, Andrew McCabe, along with others in the leadership ranks of the FBI. Did they, as it appears, fail to disclose to the court that Clinton’s team commissioned and paid for the Russian dossier and that...

The House speaker said any briefing must be unclassified so that members of Congress can talk publicly about the findings. Democrats in Congress are gearing up for a fight to ensure that special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings are made public, calling for the release of the full report. On Friday, Mueller submitted his report to Attorney General William Barr, who now has to determine what to do with the conclusions from the 22-month investigation that resulted in charges against 34 people. As a start, he is expected to send lawmakers a summary of the findings as early as Sunday. Democrats...

Dave and Robbie break down the collective face plant of the Democratic, anti-Trump left.

Fox News host Sean Hannity, a friend of President Donald Trump, reacted to the submission of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on March 22. Mueller sent the report on possible collusion between Russians and the Trump campaign to Attorney General William Barr on Friday. The contents were not made public but Mueller said that he would issue no more indictments, meaning he found no collusion. Hannity appeared to revel in the news, announcing at the opening of his show: “The left’s favorite conspiracy theory is now dead, it is buried. “There was no collusion, no conspiracy, no obstruction, nothing,” he...

Democrat 2020 candidate Robert “Beto” O’Rourke warned from the campaign trail in South Carolina Friday night there may not be another year of America if the Mueller report is not made public. “Republicans and Democrats should do whatever they can to make sure their constituents, the American people, can read that report, form their own judgement, make their own decisions, and that the truth comes out,” O’Rourke said at a campaign stop in South Carolina Friday. O’Rourke warned that America may not see another year if details of Russian interference in the 2016 election included in the Mueller report are...
